Ingredients
6 large Granny Smith apples, peeled and sliced into 1/2 inch chunks
1.5 cups old fashioned oats
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup brown sugar
0.75 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
2 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Toss the sliced apples in a large bowl with half the cinnamon and two tablespoons of brown sugar.
Transfer the apple mixture into a 10-inch seasoned cast-iron skillet, spreading into an even layer.
In a separate bowl, combine the oats, flour, remaining brown sugar, and remaining cinnamon.
Cut the cold cubed butter into the dry mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the oat mixture generously over the apples in the skillet.
Bake on the center rack for 30 to 35 minutes until the topping is golden and the fruit is bubbly.
Notes
Ensure apple slices are uniform in thickness for consistent cooking. Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
